Jimbo Fisher leaving FSU for Texas A&M

Leticia Stanley

Eight years after taking over for a legend, Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher is leaving Florida State following his worst season as head coach.

His silence on whether he is going to take the open Texas A&M job has reportedly ruffled the feathers of some high-ranking FSU athletic officials and boosters, who seem resigned to the idea that Fisher wants out of Tallahassee.

Fisher will not coach the Seminoles this Saturday in their regular season finale against Louisiana-Monroe. He served as an assistant under, and later replaced, legendary head coach Bobby Bowden.

"Obviously, he feels like it's the right move for him, I don't know", Swinney said when asked. This is a business that's very public, as we all know, and from time to time, you have to make decisions. "So I'm wondering, where's the loyalty to the program Jimbo?". However, should they be tired of the actions of the head coach in recent weeks towards his then own fanbase? We play Texas A&M the next two years. "Florida State is Florida State. I don't have any doubt about that". I don't get in to the rumors and the rumor mill.

The 4-7 Florida Gators football team does not have a lot to be overly pleased about this season, but they're certainly in a much better place than state rival Florida State. "He'll still be a thorn in our side".

FSU had already starting the vetting process of a couple of potential hires like Oregon's Willie Taggart and Virginia Tech's Justin Fuente.
